2021-04-24: Brewers (Peralta) at Cubs (Alzolay) [Brewers win, 4-3 -- Piña 2-run HR gives Crew the lead for good]

[Eye Black]

I know it's an extremely small sample size but Corey Ray looks like he has mechanical issues. Odd swing with front shoulder flying open.

Not sure who's in charge of overseeing hitter development in the minors but every guy that comes through the pipeline seems to have mechanical issues.

One of the biggest knocks on him in recent years is that he literally changes his swing (and pre-swing movements) constantly.

[yourout]

Put that one on a tee.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Hayward sitting on a fastball. Gotta be better located. Alright. Get Sogard, move on.

[Eye Black]

Good play by Wong to finally get Sogard out after three lucky hits today.

[brooks_quichenick]

Devin’s changeup looked disgusting today, just a mistake fastball.

[markedman5]

One badly placed fastball and he payed for it......all in all he looked really good.....very encouraging

[BuckyBrewer61]

Never been so excited by an inning in which a reliever gave up an absolute meatball homer.

 

Williams looking more and more like 2020. Very encouraging, and still have the lead for Hader.

[adambr2]

Solo HRs are ok. Let's hope we get lights out Hader today and it doesn't matter.

[adambr2]

Have to think Hader will see Baez in the 9th.

[Eye Black]

Walks Hoerner, sigh. Time to buckle up.

[adambr2]

STOP walking guys.

[RollieTime]

Hader not looking good at all to the first hitter...

 

Bye bye Ross!!

[adambr2]

Is that called strike 1 to Marsnick as bad as it looks on GameDay?

[folly412]

They had a point on that one. Wasn't even close.

[mtrebs]

They had a point on that one. Wasn't even close.

 

Awful call. Maybe Narvaez is now the best pitch-framer...

[Eye Black]

Is that called strike 1 to Marsnick as bad as it looks on GameDay?

Yes

[CheezWizHed]

Looked better from the side than from the front. At the letters... high, but not as high as it seemed.

[SomewhereInTime]

Honest question, by the rulebook how high does the strikezone actually go? Is a pitch at the letters a strike?

[Eye Black]

Of course it comes down to Contreras versus Hader.

 

Come on Josh!

[markedman5]

Huge win!

[folly412]

[homer]

I wish he had K'd but it was still neat that Cubs fans probably thought that was a home run.

[magnoliacrew]

Woooo!!!!!

[brewers888]

Really nice win.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Winning road trip. Winning record in 9 vs. Cubs in April. One more day to bank a win and get healthier.

 

Nice bounce back.
